Abstract: Humor is a magnetic component in everyday human interactions and communications. Computationally modeling humor enables NLP systems to entertain and engage with users. We investigate the effectiveness of prompting, a new transfer learning paradigm for NLP, for humor recognition. We show that prompting performs similarly to finetuning when numerous annotations are available, but gives stellar performance in low-resource humor recognition. The relationship between humor and offense is also inspected by applying influence functions to prompting; we show that models could rely on offense to determine humor during transfer.

Can Pre-trained Language Models Understand Chinese Humor? [74.96509580592004]
This paper is the first work that systematically investigates the humor understanding ability of pre-trained language models (PLMs) We construct a comprehensive Chinese humor dataset, which can fully meet all the data requirements of the proposed evaluation framework. Our empirical study on the Chinese humor dataset yields some valuable observations, which are of great guiding value for future optimization of PLMs in humor understanding and generation.

Humor Mechanics: Advancing Humor Generation with Multistep Reasoning [11.525355831490828]
We develop a working prototype for humor generation using multi-step reasoning. We compare our approach with human-created jokes, zero-shot GPT-4 generated humor, and other baselines. Our findings demonstrate that the multi-step reasoning approach consistently improves the quality of generated humor.

Getting Serious about Humor: Crafting Humor Datasets with Unfunny Large Language Models [27.936545041302377]
Large language models (LLMs) can generate synthetic data for humor detection via editing texts. We benchmark LLMs on an existing human dataset and show that current LLMs display an impressive ability to 'unfun' jokes. We extend our approach to a code-mixed English-Hindi humor dataset, where we find that GPT-4's synthetic data is highly rated by bilingual annotators.

Mining Effective Features Using Quantum Entropy for Humor Recognition [19.20228079459944]
Humor recognition has been extensively studied with different methods in the past years. In this paper, inspired by the incongruity theory, any joke can be divided into two components (the setup and the punchline) We use density matrices to represent the semantic uncertainty of the setup and the punchline, respectively, and design QE-Uncertainty and QE-Incongruity with the help of quantum entropy as features for humor recognition.

The Naughtyformer: A Transformer Understands Offensive Humor [63.05016513788047]
We introduce a novel jokes dataset filtered from Reddit and solve the subtype classification task using a finetuned Transformer dubbed the Naughtyformer. We show that our model is significantly better at detecting offensiveness in jokes compared to state-of-the-art methods.

ExPUNations: Augmenting Puns with Keywords and Explanations [88.58174386894913]
We augment an existing dataset of puns with detailed crowdsourced annotations of keywords. This is the first humor dataset with such extensive and fine-grained annotations specifically for puns. We propose two tasks: explanation generation to aid with pun classification and keyword-conditioned pun generation.

Towards Multimodal Prediction of Spontaneous Humour: A Novel Dataset and First Results [84.37263300062597]
Humor is a substantial element of human social behavior, affect, and cognition. Current methods of humor detection have been exclusively based on staged data, making them inadequate for "real-world" applications. We contribute to addressing this deficiency by introducing the novel Passau-Spontaneous Football Coach Humor dataset, comprising about 11 hours of recordings.

"The Boating Store Had Its Best Sail Ever": Pronunciation-attentive Contextualized Pun Recognition [80.59427655743092]
We propose Pronunciation-attentive Contextualized Pun Recognition (PCPR) to perceive human humor. PCPR derives contextualized representation for each word in a sentence by capturing the association between the surrounding context and its corresponding phonetic symbols. Results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in pun detection and location tasks.
